How to care for Acetate

I will be periodicaly posting information from the "Fabric Link, Retailer's Forum" on "Clothing and Fabric Care". Today, is about:

ACETATE
Most acetate garments should be dry-cleaned. Some knits are washable. If laundering is indicated, use the following guide:

Hand wash in warm water with mild suds.
Do not twist or wring out the garment.
Do not soak colored items.
Press while damp on the wrong side with a cool iron. if finishing the right side use a pressing cloth.
Circular knits should be laid flat to dry.

(For specific instruction refer to the garment's sewn-in care label.)
Note: Acetate is adversely affected by acetone and other organic solvents, such as nail polish remover and perfumes containing such solvents.
